My daughter posted a photo on Facebook of one of her friends, who happens to be a tall blonde model; given the pose and the, er, boots I got an old Z Z Top song stuck in my head. This isn’t it, because that song and the original video developed something of a bad rep.
As far as I know, this is just a great rock and roll song with no unfortunate references.
I love that entire LP, but that song kills me. Also the Shel Silverstein song.
ZZ Top reminds me of student rail passes and a month of riding trains across europe with no money……
Bit of Blues Traveller to start – Run Around
So my mate Paul and I have our big menaces up Mount Washburn in YNP for a hike and on the way back early evening they are just raucous and noisy as kids are – making up songs, yelling and having a good time. We put up for it for about an hour and half (traffic bad around the north of the park). Then I reached into Paul’s CD collection, pulled Queen’s Greatest Hits, turned the dial to 11 and we belted out the following one after another…. Wayne’s world style!
Bohenian Rhapsody
Another rides the bus
Killer QUEEN
Fat Bottomed Girls ( I love shocking SammyTheTurtle every onw and again )

Bruce Cockburn – If I Had A Rocket Launcher

Peter Fox: Alles Neu

I was fascinated with this song when I was a kid.
Three faces of Alannis Morrisette:
Ironic
Heartbroken
Head Over Feet in love – my personal favourite
None of my friends could understand why I liked this one.
Why? Btw that pic was taken south of Half Moon Bay.
The lyrics say it all. It’s a lifetime spent searching for the best of one’s self, and even when we think it’s found, the search goes on.
yes clarity can be an illusion
Even if it’s not an illusion, we never stop learning and growing — searching for that heart of gold.
Check out the band members…
Look at all the dancing moms! Still love the song.
Brian Henneman and I both are hot for Nancy:
Must have some Mamas & Papas…even if it should be Oregon Dreaming.
More Cass…and Tommy Smothers. Loved that show!
Cocteau Twins
Persephone
Heaven or Las Vegas
Blue Bell Knoll
Haven’t consumed enough mind-altering substances yet for this one.
I have no clue how this came to be made
Yes that’s Rick Astley lead vocals for Nirvana – you have it right.
Dumb video, excellent song.
I don’t know about dumb, Robert Palmer’s girls had to have somewhere to go after he stopped using them on his videos.
She purty. No. Make that gorgeous!
Gorgeous face, gorgeous voice!
Have to go out for a bit – from the Montana Drive of the Turtles MIx – Concrete Blonde – Man’s World
Music for a hot hot day…
Who are the three girls at 1:28? It’s not the Andrews Sisters, the Lennon Sisters, nor the McGuire Sisters. Those acts would have been the most likely from the right years. Who did I miss?
That I do not know.
Perhaps someone else can help…
Blues Brothers
Everybody Needs Somebody To Love
Rawhide
Think
I found a little gem from one of my favorite bands of all time.
Besame Mucho Cesaria Evora

It’s time Darlene Love got some attention when it isn’t Christmas.
Kitten sings backup at 1:07!
Bryan Adams – The Summer of 69 – no its not about 1969..
Allright, I know Boz Scaggs wrote it, but…
Hi, gang.
Get a look at the line of storms moving across my beloved Minnesota! It covers the entire state, north to south, And the serious stuff is several miles wide! Don’t worry. I live in a nice sturdy cement building and I know when to seek a lower level. I can cope with any interruption of services. I’ll try to give you guys a head’s up after the storm but I can’t make any guarantees. I’m trying to make sure the beer is gone before the power goes out.

YIKES!! Do check back, if the power situation allows it, pete. Stay safe!
I luvs me some Lady Day.
It showed up!
Lots of music about the weather.
Video not available.
Let’s try this one…
Wasn’t it alleged that Clapton is god?
Alleged? Pffft.Only to godlessheathentonedeafatheists.
So Clapton really is god? Or I’m tone deaf?
He is proof there is a God. So relax, your question has been forever answered.
Pfftt…
Typical. Not the answer your looking for, so dismiss.
No, that was skepticism. Dismissal is this: Dismissed.
Where I come from, a question is not a question if you already know your predetermined answer.
Well, I don’t always have to be right, but I gotta be me.
Goodnight, all.
and that’s why your our Queen, bon nuit.
you’re…jeebus
No more “reply” buttons – the Karen Dalton video played for me, Zooey.
It finally did for me, too. At first it was just static with a “video not available” thing in the middle.
Dio es dio!
Amen sista!! \m/ \m/ – just got my DVD

Yeah baby!
Never mind Waldo. Has anyone seen “Toothy” the tortoise?
Damn that tortuga!
I was placed in charge of feeding the animals. All was well this morning.
Went back around 6p just to check on the cat and the tortoises (Kiwi who is about 3″ was in the burrow; however, “Toothy” (about 5.5″ ) seems to have made his escape.
Not the first time in his short live. The first time of not finding him in a timely manner. The enclosure is about 12′ x 15′…plenty of room for them to roam around. Lots of safe hiding places for them…
this tortoise has a penchant for climbing! A very smart tortuga.
They are my 11 year old niece’s creatures.
I’ll go, again, at first light to look. Oh their playground is outdoors.
(no the cat doesn’t bother with them. “Finch”, yes that’s his name, is scared of his own shadow. He’s a very sweet, loving cat and prefers to lounge on the couch or any other place indoors)
livelifeare tortas made with tortugas?
I just hope this fellow found cover before he became some hawk’s or raccoon’s appetizer!
He must travel “fast” for a tortoise.
Update. The leading edge of the storm front is here. It looks worse on radar than it sounds like. No reports of tornadoes. Little if any hail. No major power outages. We’re expecting a short lived burst of winds and heavy rain. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Glad to know you’re safe for the moment!
Still safe. Much about nothing so I’m going to bed.
Spent my evening with Bruce Campbell and Ossie Davis:
C**ki rock before bedtime
Scorpions – send me an angel
Chromatics – Tick of the Clock
Into the Black
